Lets Chat Vol. 6

FEELING// A real certified genuine ADULT. We bought bedroom furniture it doesn't get more adult than that (except the other 4028 things I do that make me an adult all day everyday). I mean this furniture didn't even come from craigslist so that should count for bonus points if we are keeping score! When it is all in an installed (not sitting in boxes on my front porch- that is a lie burglars) and styled (HA!) I'll show yall the goods!

LISTENING TO//READING// I downloaded "Pretty Girls" on the recommendation of Kaitlyn, my book sensei, with out as much of a glance at the description because when sensei says to read it you read it. But now that I take a look at the summary I am PUMMMMMPED to get down and dirty with Claire and Lydia and all of their messed up character traits that make books so good!

WATCHING// I pinky promise/ cross my heart and hope to die that reading 11-22-63 by Stephen King is on my list of summer projects (I mean the book is about a million pages long!) but in the mean time HAVE YOU STARTED WATCHING THE HULU VERSION??? Sucked me in. I didn't need a ton of convincing because I am a pretty big history nerd but IT IS SO GOOD. James Franco, who plays the main character Jake, it not nearly as creepy and James Franco-ish as he normally is! the episodes are a little lengthy, but so it the book. It is pick your poison apparently. I pick TV (well right now I do... see above)

1. The 6+ hour solo drive I am dreading making to San Antonio tomorrow. Seriously HOW did I drive 3-5 hours ONE WAY for 3+ years? MIND BOGGLING. 2. Despite the helllllllla long drive (that will be filled with podcasts and Buccees beef jerky) I get to spend the weekend celebrating my grandmothers 90th birthday! That is almost of century of spit fire! More on her in the future!

THANKFUL FOR// Family time! We have aunts and uncles and cousins galore coming in this weekend to celebrate my grandmother! I didn't grow up surrounded by family so I love it when we all can get in the same room together, especially for such a grand occasion as Mother Alice's 90th birthday!

Feel Free to follow all the family togetherness (and the subsequent locking myself in a bedroom to recharge -- see yesterdays post) on
